Our service was exceptional. Big thanks to Mike for exceeding our expectations at every opportunity. He made us laugh, added to our dining experience and had local recommendations for us as well. Mike gets 5 stars for his high quality of service. This review would be lower in stars if not for Mike. The food was decent, but the price seemed high for the level of quality. For the price point, we hoped for better than decent food quality. The views are nice, but apparently the heaters take HOURS to turn off so it is quite warm even when the heater isn't required. It is unlikely that I'll go back.
The food was really good and portion size was good. We initially booked for 8:30pm but we received a call asking if we could come any earlier as it was slow and they wanted to close early. I said 8 would work but she insisted 7:45. We felt bad so we went in around 7:30. Service was nice at first, we got seated at one of the first handful of tables so we didn't really get to see the restraunt or the grand view. It was easy to tell they were being rushed to close quickly as the hustle and bustle of closing picked up before our meals arrived. It got so loud from the kitchen cleaning, the removal of table top decor, the wine ice buckets. Every thing clanked and chimed. An ice bucket was knocked over in the process, you could tell the staff was stressed. Our waiter was nice, but also seemed very stressed as he didn't have time to fully listen to requests before turning away just to hollar he couldn't hear us. I felt bad for the table next to us, their meal arrived so late and wasn't receiving updates just for the waiter to raise his voice at them as well. Again food and value was good, but ordering to your room with a nice view would be more enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend dinning in on any week day if this is how it is. 8:30pm was the earliest reservation option I had, yet they wanted to be closed and cleaned up by then.

Good was delicious, views were amazing, service was attentive and friendly. Our glasses never got half-empty. I simply wish that a loud family hadn't been seated right next to us when the restaurant wasn't even busy yet. Their children literally ran and crawled around our table shrieking and barking (imitating my service dog, who eventually grew disturbed and had to be picked up so the kids didn't bother him), while the parents simply sighed and said demeaning things to the kids (and sometimes making ominous threats before disappearing with them ?). Our anniversary dinner just left us saying, again and again, “Thank god we don't have children.” It's no fault of the restaurant except that perhaps unruly families could be seated more thoughtfully. I plan to return to the bar, at least, as the Italian Mule was one of my favorite cocktails in a hot minute and I need another, sans shrieking kids in the background. Thank you for a great meal!

Promptly seated at the bar during dinner hours on a Monday. Friendly fast service. Ordered the garlic bread soup which was shockingly delicious, mushroom ravioli which was pretty, and an aperol spritz. Total came to around $60. Worth it for the good food, friendly service and amazing view of the mountains and partial view of the lake from the bar.

We are always looking for new restaurants. I'm a foodie. Octopus was so bad we couldn't eat it. All we could taste was the char. Lamb Chops not so much flavor. We went on on Sunday hoping to see a view of the sunset and but they put us on the other side of the restaurant. Only view we had was hotel roof tops. Definetly not going back

Good dinner on Monday, the 15th, a couple weeks ago. Food was good. I started with a very tasty Caesar salad. For my entree I went with the rolled lasagna. It was delicious. Then for dessert, I had the tiramisu, prepared table side. It's a unique touch. It was quite good! Fair selection of wines by the glass. Service was attentive and friendly. The view of the pristine lake was unparalleled from my window table.
Everything started off great, cocktails and appetizers came out quickly and tasted great! Towards the end of our meal our waiter, Zach, brought to go boxes. It had been about 20 minutes after receiving them that I informed him we needed two separate checks. He then got rude and condescending. Saying it would have been a lot easier if we had told him that in the beginning. He hasn't even brought us a check at all! Then he said, “Well I will see if I can figure that out.” He separated it wrong, but we accepted them anyways because I was not going to continue to be belittled by my server. Worst server in Lake Tahoe.

Good was very bland. Service was slow. Not impressed at all with this restaurant. Way overpriced.

Top quality experience with great views! Excellent Italian fine dining in Lake Tahoe, with an extensive wine list, and very experienced staff. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu here.
Don was our server. He made it an enjoyable experience. He was really nice and he is good with Children. I had the lobster and crab tortellini and it was amazing. My wife had the mushroom ravioli which was excellent. This is a great addition to the restaurants they already have at this resort. We will definitely be going back.

The restaurant is lovely with wonderful views . Large space and great service . My waiter was very attentive and my water glass never went empty . I had spaghetti and meatballs in a huge portion . Wish there was more sauce and it could have been a little warmer temperature wise . For me it was very pricey at approx 28$ 31.01 $ to be exact with tax and then add on a tip . All for spaghetti . And this was a lesser expensive option . But it is Lake Tahoe after all .
